Über diesen Titel
When Michael Collins decided to become a surgeon, he was totally unprepared for the chaotic life of a resident at a major hospital. A natural overachiever, Collins' success in college and medical school led to a surgical residency at one of the most respected medical centers in the world, the famed Mayo Clinic. But compared to his fellow residents, Collins felt inadequate and unprepared. All too soon the euphoria of beginning his career as an orthopedic resident gave way to the feeling he was a counterfeit, an imposter who had infiltrated a society of brilliant surgeons.
This story of Collins' four-year surgical residency traces his rise from an eager but clueless first-year resident to accomplished chief resident in his final year. With unparalleled humor he recounts the disparity between people's perceptions of a doctor's glamorous life and the real thing: a succession of run-down cars that are towed to the junkyard, long weekends moonlighting at rural hospitals, a family that grows larger every year, and a laughable income.

His reflections on his job, his personal growth and deterioration, his balancing the duties to his family and work, that hits close to home for me as a paramedic.
This is a great book if you are a health care worker, and it could put the strain and pressure that comes with a job in health care into perspective for those who don't know the field.
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who thinks about going into health care, so they can gauge whether that is a type of life they want. So they are informed about what it entails.
Read this book if you want a realistic look into life in a hospital, mixed with some humour, lots of insights and love of life. Don't read it if you are looking for a story.
Thanks to anyone who enabled me to listen to this book, from the author to the sound technician.
